OnePlus Nord CE4 (CPH2613) 8GB RAM 256GB 5G Review – International Version

After weeks of using the OnePlus Nord CE4 (CPH2613) – the International Version boasting 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage – I’m ready to share my comprehensive review. This phone promises a lot: a large AMOLED display, a massive 5500mAh battery, and the latest OxygenOS 14 out of the box. But does it deliver?

The Nord CE4 immediately impresses with its sleek Dark Chrome finish. The 6.7-inch AMOLED display is vibrant and crisp, making media consumption a joy. The 120Hz refresh rate contributes to smooth scrolling and responsive gaming. OxygenOS 14 feels refined and fast, running smoothly on the Octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon processor. The inclusion of a 5500mAh battery is a significant plus, promising all-day battery life – and it largely delivers. The dual SIM capability and expandable storage are also welcome additions.

The Nord CE4 handles everyday tasks with ease. Apps launch quickly, and multitasking is smooth. Even demanding games ran well, though I did notice some slight heating during extended gameplay sessions. The 5500mAh battery truly impressed; I consistently got over a day of use on a single charge, even with heavy usage. Fast charging is a boon, topping up the battery quickly when needed.

The camera system is a mixed bag. The 50MP main sensor captures decent photos in good lighting conditions, with vibrant colors and good detail. However, low-light performance could be improved. The 16MP secondary camera is adequate for selfies and video calls. Video recording at 1080p is smooth and stable.

Pros:

  • Huge 5500mAh battery with excellent battery life
  • Vibrant and smooth 120Hz AMOLED display
  • Fast performance thanks to the Snapdragon processor
  • Latest OxygenOS 14 out of the box
  • Expandable storage up to 1TB

Cons:

  • Low-light camera performance could be better
  • Slight heating during extended gaming

Overall, the OnePlus Nord CE4 (CPH2613) is a solid mid-range phone that offers excellent value. The massive battery life alone makes it a compelling option. While the camera isn’t perfect, it’s more than adequate for most users. If you’re looking for a phone with long-lasting battery life and a stunning display, the Nord CE4 is definitely worth considering. I would wholeheartedly recommend it.
